Hi all,

I am considering purchasing an Earthworks M30 measurement microphone. 
See more details here: http://www.earthworksaudio.com/our-microphones/m-series/m30/

I don't see myself getting tired of speaker building any time soon, so I may just as well invest in it.  In tools terms, the M30 is the Festool, where the EMC8000 is the Ryobi.

Secondly, I could most probably use this mic to calibrate other microphones with.  You do this by using the M30 as a reference mic, then measure a sound source with 2 mics side-by-side, and generate a file showing the offset of the "to be calibrated" mic to the M30.  This then is a calibration file which we use in our software, etc.

What are your thoughts?

Cheers,
Ian.
